Answer:

<u><em>Steven is 15 and one half years old now</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

Linear equations

Sometimes we need to know the value of a variable in a given equation and that variable is given as a polynomial of degree 1. Solving for that variable means isolating it and replacing the other known values

Steven was 7 years old eight and one-half years ago. If we call x as the actual age of Steven, his age eight and one-half years ago was

x-8\frac{1}{2}

We know he was 7 years old then, so

x-8\frac{1}{2}=7

We need to know his actual age, so let's solve for x, adding 8\frac{1}{2} to each side of the equation

x-8\frac{1}{2}+8\frac{1}{2}=7+8\frac{1}{2}

Simplifying

x=15\frac{1}{2}

Steven is 15 and one half years old now

Answer:

The numbers are -15 and 100

\frac{2}{10} +\frac{-15}{100} =\frac{5}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{2}{10} +\frac{x}{100} =\frac{5}{y}

Solve the left side

\frac{2}{10} +\frac{x}{100} =\frac{20+x}{100}

so

\frac{20+x}{100}=\frac{5}{y}

equate the numerators and the denominators

20+x=5 ------> x=5-20=-15

100=y -------> y=5

therefore

The numbers are -15 and 100

\frac{2}{10} +\frac{-15}{100} =\frac{5}{100}

Suppose you decide to put $12,500 in an account earning 9% interest compounded quarterly. How much interest would you earn after
Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

you add 9% to a number by multiplying that number by 1.09.

because adding 9% gives us in the end 109% of the original amount.

anyway, the formula for quarterly compounded interest is

Cq = P [ (1+r)^(4*n) – 1 ]

P is the starting principal amount

r is the interest rate per quarter (= interest rate / 4)

n would be the number of years (= 1 in our case).

so, the interest after 1 year is

12500((1 + 0.09/4)⁴ - 1) = 12500(1.0225⁴ - 1) =

= 12500 × 0.093083319 = $1,163.541485 ≈ $1,163.54

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), also called IP telephony, is a method and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. The terms Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service specifically refer to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), also known as plain old telephone service (POTS).
